According to Wayne LaPierre, head of the powerful American National Rifle Association, the answer is: “…a good guy with a gun.”

Since everyone is either a bad guy, or a good guy, in America, and since the bad guys mostly HAVE guns, the solution, according to the NRA, is to give every good guy at least one gun, preferably a semi-automatic with 100-bullet clips, so that you can mow down hundreds of bad guys at one time.

But – is there any evidence supporting LaPierre? Well, now. Here is the evidence. * 1. “every time a gun in the home was used in self-defense or a legal shooting, there were four unintentional shootings, seven criminal assaults or homicides, and 11 attempted or completed suicides.” Oops. 2. “..a gun is 22 times more likely to be used in a criminal assault, an accidental death or injury, than it is for self-defense.” Oops. 3. In 2010, 31,671 people were killed by guns in America, 73,505 were treated in emergency rooms for nonfatal gunshot wounds, and 337,960 nonfatal violent crimes were committed with guns. Of the 31,671 dead, three of five were suicides, and the vast majority of the rest were homicides by people who knew each other. No other Western democracy can come close to matching those 31,671 deaths by gunshots.

So, how then SHOULD we complete the sentence above? “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is…preventing the bad guy from getting a gun in the first place, or taking it away from him or her when he or she gets one.”

Don’t confuse the NRA with evidence and facts. All those facts come from Commie socialist left-wing traitorous scumbag liberals anyway.
